DU QUOIN (WSIL) -- A band has been removed from the Du Quoin State Fair lineup.
Confederate Railroad will no longer perform on August 27.
The Du Quoin Weekly reports the band was removed because of their name.
Back in June, Rich Miller with Capitol Fax, asked whether or not people thought the band playing at a state-owned facility was appropriate.
Fair Manager, Josh Gross, told the newspaper the Illinois Department of Agriculture made the decision saying, "While every artists has a right to expression, we believe this decision is in the best interest of serving all of the people in our state."

How long before all cotton clothes is removed from the shelves because cotton evokes a negative memory for blacks?
Laugh if you will, but it's not out of the realm of possibility in our snowflake culture.

Wait, who’s expressing their freedom of speech?

the Illinois Department of Agriculture made the decision saying,
A state governmental department is discriminating against a band for their name, which contains the word “confederate”.
And you think this is an issue about a private enterprise utilizing their constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech?
